Chamber Music
Sir, —In your critic’s otherwise able review of a recent chamber music concert, I think he cast an unmerited slur upon the music-lovers of this city by his complaint that the ball was only half-full. 1 would like to point out that any concert of serious music, and more particularly of chamber music, demands perfect comfort for its milieu. The very term “chamber” connotes an atmosphere of quietude, and even intimacy, which, unfortunately, is all too often absent from this class of musical function. In my opinion only one hall in Wellington fulfils the requisite conditions, and when these concerts are given there the attendance is invariably satisfactory. I am, etC ” TRIO. Wellington, October 14.
